Inara linked her hand through his offered arm and headed towards the carriage. Once they both were in the carriage, it started to move down the street.
"Excellent, I am hoping that we may be able to bring some of that security into our organization. His super loyal ones will need to meet the...
"I think it will depend on how much he irritates us when we get there," Inara said with an evil grin.
Max was right about the timing. It took two days for them to get the go on visiting Lord Clydus. Max said he would swing by and get her so she just waited now for him to show up.
They had...
One of Inara's perfect brows rose at his question.
"Max...my dear...I have a very serious question for you. Do I look like someone who wears heels?"
She had in the past but it had been against her will and better judgement. She was clumsy so she did not do well with walking in anything that...
Inara smiled at Max’s kiss to her cheek and his thank you. She was glad he wasn’t upset that she talked to her father about him. Some men got uppity about that type of stuff.
“You’re welcome. It was all true and I didn’t want him thinking he could take you from me or anything,” she said as she...
Inara had a feeling Max would be upset with her but they had a mutual way of working out their issues.
“I told him the truth,” she paused to let him think about what truth for a moment. To mess with him.
“I told him that I am utterly useless and out of my element. I told him that you have...
Inara just gave him that look. He was so crass sometimes but she did not really hate it.
"Yes, please," she said and handed Max her bowl.
She was only a little smug about the fact that he loved her stew enough to get seconds. Okay...more than a little. She loved it and she was very smug...
Inara flinched at his snap. He was right. She had been stupid and reckless. She was lucky and she was more lucky that he had come to find her. She hated that she owed him though. She never liked having a debt like that.
“You wouldn’t have had a chance to lie or make excuses. He would’ve killed...
Like Max, Inara dipped her bread into her stew too. Soaking bread in any type of stew was the greatest thing and, in her opinion, the best way to eat bread (and stew).
As she ate, she took in what Max was saying and nodded along to demonstrate her understanding of his words. Putting them into...
Inara listened to Max like he was a famous professor at one of those fancy colleges. Stabbing was less effective than slashing. Noted. Slash good, stab meh but better than nothing.
"But couldn't you get deeper with a stab? What if I tried to slash but couldn't get it and then there is just a...
Inara smiled at Max's smile. She knew it had been a test but she would have done it even if it was not one. It was not that she did not like him or that she wanted to stab him (which she did a lot of the time) but that she needed this. She needed to learn how to fight. She was no longer a simple...
Inara stared from Max's face to the knife that he was holding out for her. She had to do it. It was the first step that she needed to do. She needed to try to stab her lover. She knew full well that he would block her easily. She had seen him fight, she knew he was a killer. She was nothing...
Inara leaned against her counter and just watched Max slice the bread. She couldn't help but enjoy watching him doing this especially when his back was to her. She enjoyed the view quite a bit.
She noticed that he stopped slicing at one point and she was about to say something when he started...
Inara threw him the look after his little snark.
"Of course it tastes as good as it smells," she said with a huff.
She would end this whole thing right now if he dared to insult her delicious stew.
"You can cut the bread," Inara produced a serrated knife to make cutting the loaf easier...
Inara had finished stirring the stew while Max collected his weapons.
"There is a lot you do not know about me, Max," she said with a small smile.
It was true (obviously). There was so much in her past that he didn't know. Marcus didn't even know everything. She was no innocent creature who...
